The dvi file is a "device independent" output of the TeX
program, which needs postprocessing to convert it to
a device-dependent printer output file.  For example
to convert it to a file suitable for printing on our
Laserjet 4L, I use the following script  
  
#!/bin/sh
exec gs -q -sDEVICE=ljet4 -r300 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=$1%d.lj $1 <<EOF
exit
EOF

I get several files of the form "filename.psN.lj", one per page
which I then copy to the printer.

Humans usually do not bother reading the dvi file because
it makes them crazy.  Only gods do that.
